INNOVATIONS IN STROKE REHABILITATION
Stroke rehabilitation requires a personalized and multidisciplinary approach. Stroke remains a leading cause of disability, and innovative technologies such as robotics, virtual reality, and telerehabilitation show significant potential for improving patients' motor and cognitive functions. Robotic systems provide precise, repetitive movements, while virtual reality enhances motivation through engaging and realistic environments. The combination of technologies creates a synergistic effect and leads to higher efficiency. Telerehabilitation and brain-computer interface (BCI) robots expand access to therapy and allow recovery even in severe cases. Objective: This article aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of these innovations in the context of modern post-stroke rehabilitation. Materials and Methods:A review of recent literature was conducted, including scientific publications related to the rehabilitation of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke and the use of innovative technologies. Conclusion: Robotic systems, virtual reality, telerehabilitation, and BCI robots complement traditional therapies and offer new approaches to overcoming long-term disability. Clinical evidence shows significant benefits from their use, especially in the early phases after stroke.
